Hi there,
I have a question regarding LSA's as assistants? The LSA I work for previously assisted on a surgery that does not allow an assistant. He is not contracted with the insurance and he received a denial stating that on that procedure assistant surgeons are not allowed, therefore the patient is not liable. My question: Can he still balance bill the patient for a portion of his services due to the fact that he is not contracted with that insurance?
Any input would be helpful and appreciated. Thx
